“ The Children Open the Roads A road is not made only for some. Some open it up and many benefit from it.
The road is for everyone. It is for the rich and the poor, for the master and the beggar.
With the road a mountain meets the next mountain, a city joins hands with another city. ”

“ Another path must go to the woodcutters, and another to lead them towards the road to the Small Village.
If they manage to make these three paths, they will have means of communication.
They had a hard time! They had to struggle with the earth in many places ; several distant trees had thrown up roots just where they wanted to build the path. ”

“ The whole place was covered with dried pine needles, they cleared them all up. First so that they could wander around easily, and then to eliminate the fire risk : as dry pine needles are both very slippery and highly inflammable. ”
